This dress makes you feel glamourous and it makes you stand out.

This was a perfect Vegas dress. The color was nice and the opening in the back was the extra touch to make this dress gorgeous. You should consider getting a back up size just in case. The large was baggy on me and I preferred the look of the medium.

Very glamorous & classy!

I was originally supposed to rent another dress for this wedding but it did not get returned in time from a previous renter. This was my back up and I wasnt sure if it would be too sparkly and New Yearsish for a wedding. but I decided to go with it. It fit great and I got a lot of compliments on it. I am petite and it still fit at a sexy short length. The sleeves are pretty snug but that is how the dress is designed... they are not uncomfortably tight. I did not find the dress "itchy" as some others described because there is a soft lining on the inside the protected against the sequin layer. It was a beautiful navy color which you can see better in the outside picture. Although it was my back up, I loved it and had a great time dancing in it all night!

So many compliments!

AMAZING. That is the word to describe this dress & the compliments that come with it. You look GREAT while you are comfortable at the same time. This dress stays TRUE too say, and is the perfect length for a formal length. It is not too long or too short, so you look very fashionable and classy at the same time. The slit in the back makes this dress go from AVERAGE To ABOVE AVERAGE. No ONE will have a dress just like this, which makes YOU stand out ! Enjoy :*

Awesome dress!

Definitely rent this!

This was my very first order from RTR. Definitely made my night amazing. I received so many compliments on this dress- which made me literally fall in love with it. The only thing for me was that the length was a bit too long- so I just used some of the fashion tape that was provided and made the dress a tiny bit shorter. Also- you cannot wear a normal bra with this dress, so either go braless or wear something like the nubra. Read the other reviews to see what size to get- DEFINITELY size down (I thought I would wear the size S, but I ended up wearing the XS). This dress is really flattering and forgiving for those areas you are a little insecure about- I REALLY recommend it!!

Classy + sexy had a dress baby, and this was it!

Ladies, if you're looking for a great dress...this navy sequin number by Tibi is your answer. Wore it for my 29th birthday shindig and received so many compliments! It was just the right amount of sexiness to say "yeah, I am, but I didn't try THAT hard to be." I'm 5'8", 36D, and let's get real...mama's got some junk in the trunk, so I was slightly nervous about overall fit and length of the dress...went with the size M, and it was perfect! Paired it with a nude ankle strap heel from ALDO and wore a backless strapless bra by recommendation of precious RTR reviews. The dress was absolutely comfortable, and I loved the navy color - looks great in person and in photos. Spent the evening at dinner, drinks, and dancing - no problems throughout the night! I could see where other options could be to have a POC in your heels or jewelry if you're hair is up, too. If this dress isn't already in your shopping cart, you better put it there NOW. : )

Sparkles, open-back and long-sleeves...oh my!

I loved this dress for an early February event because of the sleeves. The color was beautiful, the cutout in the back and short length made it sexy, and I felt very trendy. It ran a little small and the sleeves were tight. I was somewhat relieved that no one danced at the fundraiser I wore this to because raising the arms was not easy, but I felt great in it overall.

I absolutely LOVED this dress!

I ended up wearing the medium even though I usually would wear a large but with the other reviews I was expecting this. The dress was very comfortable even with all the sequins . I had to finangle my spanx with strapless bras though in order to make my "girls" look perky and the dress kept showing my slimmer in the back and I would have liked that it didn't do that but oh well.

Perfect sparkle for NYE!

Amid a sea of sequins and glitter, I like to think this dress was a standout.
Pros: Fully lined, so there was no annoying sequin scratch. Overall it was comfortable, and I got a ton of compliments.
Cons: It was a little shorter than I expected, so I had to hike up my Spanx and be on ride-up watch for the evening. The hem had fallen out, but a little Hollywood tape fixed that. And the open back was a bit lower than I felt comfortable with (plus, I had to hide the Spanx!) so I did a quick whip stitch to close it up a bit.

Great dress, really fun!

The dress was the perfect dress for the evening-- easy to dance in and very sparkly. My only complaint is the dress is a bit droopy around the waist, which doesn't photograph well. I couldn't tape it in a way that didn't throw off the rest of the dress/ make it way to short in the back. Overall though, great experience as always.

between the dress, earrings, purse and fabulous hairstyle i definitely felt like i was ready for the red carpet. the dress was absolutely gorgeous. i got tons of compliments. because it was long sleeved, i was definitely warm in the dress after dancing all night. looking back on photos of myself, i kinda wished i grabbed a dress that was more body hugging. but this dress really doesn't disappoint.

Pretty, festive, flattering

Wore this to a wedding in NOLA and it worked out perfectly. It's a great dress if you need something comfy/forgiving (it's stretchy and I didn't have to fuss with it once) but the sparkles glam it up. Also great for transitional seasons - wore it in November in the South and opted for bare legs, but it would look great with tights too. Overall very versatile. It's a safe bet!

The only word for this dress? Smashing!

Had a blast at my husband's holiday party in this fab creation. Everyone loved this dress! The fit is very true to size, and it is short, something I tried to be aware of while getting down on the dance floor! The open back meant you will need a strapless bra. The sequins are glamorous, and the long sleeves and high neck in front keep it chic and sexy, as opposed to over the top.

This dress was amazing!! I received compliments on it all night! What a FUN dress!

Dress is so comfortable!! Since it has long sleeves, the sequince do not rub against you. I definitely recommend buying the Nu-Bra to wear with the dress since you cannot wear a traditional bra due to the open back. I received compliments on the dress all night long, the color was amazing, and even have people sending me msgs on facebook when I posted the pictures from the wedding. The dress rode up a bit when dancing but other than that.. I felt amazing all night! I also rented the Kenneth Jay Deep Blue Drop Earrings and the Felix Ray Gold Zip Me Up Clutch to accessorize - Everything was PERFECT!!

Dance all night long!

This was my first experience with RTR and I could not have been more pleased. I rented this dress for a girlfriend's birthday night out. It was SO fun to dance in and I got A LOT of compliments. My self-esteem shot through the roof with this dress! My waist is 27 inches and my hips are 41 inches so it is always a struggle to find an outfit that I am comfortable in. I would recommend this dress to all you curvy girls out there! It runs a bit large so go down a size. Additionally, the sleeves are a bit short but it didn't bother me. If I had bracelets that matched I would have rocked them with it. Wish we would have taken more pictures! Rent this dress and dance the night away!

Great party dress!

This dress was very comfortable and stylish! The opening in the back was larger than I expected, but it was very tasteful. Definitely wear your hair up to show off the back of this dress. The color and quality was great. I paired it with nude platform heels and the Kate Spade clutch. Such a fun dress!!

I wore the dress for New Years, it was subtle but beautiful. The shine is perfect, it doesn't look like you are trying to hard. It fits well, it was a bit long so I put some fashion tape and hiked it up. I wore it with suede knees high boots. Loved the dress, have already rented another dress...love this site!!!

Perfect party dress!

This was such a fun, classy but still sexy dress. I wore it to a holiday cocktail party, and was complimented all night. I decided to go bra-less with some pasties (not typical for me!) to avoid showing off my bra in the back slit. But a pretty bra showing through would be cute and sexy too. I have a large chest (36DD), and the medium was fine, I could have even gone with the small, but decided to give myself a little more room. Rent this!

So glam and comfy at the same time!

I rented this dress for a bachelorette in Napa and loved how glam it looked. The sparkles are so pretty and not too much. The fit is like a comfy glove - not too tight, great length. I highly recommend if you want to stand out from everyone!

Beautiful Navy Shift!

Size worn: XS

Overall fit: True to Size

I loved this dress. It is extremely flattering and great to hide a little belly as it's a little loose around the midsection. It's nice and conservative in the front and has the little slit of a surprise in the back. I did not think it was too short at all - but am only 5' 2" - it was a great length to be a little sexy without being too short. The XS fit perfectly and was true to size - maybe a hair big if you prefer things really tight. I dressed it up for my event with sparkly jewelry and gold pumps and my friend dressed hers down for a more casual event with some boots! Totally worked for both!

I got a ton of compliments on this dress - another RTR success!

What a great dress. Fitted without being too tonight and fancy without being over the top. I wore this to a Saturday night Bat Mitzvah with silver shoes which were perfect - don't go too sparkly so you don't outshine the dress. The detail of the opening in the back was the perfect added touch.
Few things - this dress runs I'd say true to size. I wear a 2-4 and wore an extra small, I actually could have had the dress be about a half size smaller. You obviously can not wear a standard bra with this dress based on the slit in the back - I wore stick ons and they were fine, the dress was snug enough on top to relieve any anxiety about them slipping off. Last thing - be careful of what stockings/spanx you wear underneath. If you can, try and get a low rise - I had to pin the bottom of the back slit closed a little bit because the waistband of my spanx was a little too high and you could see it.
Otherwise, another RTR success!

I love love loved this dress. The navy was an unexpected twist on the LBD and the back slit and high hem line still kept it sexy. I had so much fun dancing in this dress at an October wedding and received a lot of compliments!

Loved how it felt slightly conservative in the front but had an open back.

This dress was perfect for the gala I attended as the group was a fairly conservative bunch and I did not want the dress to be too tight. It does fit a bit loose around the middle and the cut of the sleeve is slightly tight but overall it is a great balance of length vs. tightness. Definitely recommend it if you want to showcase your legs.

A beautiful dress for an evening wedding!

I wore this dress to an evening wedding in October. It was a perfect fit! It was very comfortable and I received multiple compliments. It's a perfect dress for small frames, as it was fitted in the arms, but still left room for a larger bust and it wasn't so tight I felt like I had to suck everything in all night. It's quite short, but for a petite girl, it's perfectly sassy and sexy. The sequins looked amazing in all lighting. It's a great cocktail dress. I would definitely rent again! Jen and Jenny definitely know how to make the Rent the Runway experience fun and hassle free from start to finish! I had the best time shopping all of the dresses online, the photo reviews and measurements are a huge help; and then to get the package-- Opening the box was even more exciting than shopping for the dress. I'm hooked!

It def runs big, so get a smaller size. You won't regret it!

Loved wearing this dress for my bachelorette party. It was the perfect outfit. I usually try to stay away from sequins due to the fact that they scratch my skin like crazy, but this dress had lining and was super comfortable. I couldn't have felt more beautiful!

Photographs gorgeously! I was even told I had the pretties dress on, by far!

I got both a medium and a small. Both sizes fit, but I wore the small to homecoming. The dress was not too short, and I could dance, walk, and sit in it without out the hem riding upward to far. It was actually longer than I expected, considering a few reviews commented on it being a tiny bit short. I love how high the neck was on the dress. The dresses opening in the back gaped out, but I enjoyed it big like that. It was very comfy and caused me to look even smaller from the side and back angle. Also, the sequins did not scratch me during the whole event. I really think the color and sequins looked gorgeous in pictures of all lighting.
Before homecoming I went out to eat with my date. The faculty kept walking by, and finally one informed us that the whole restaurant was looking at my dress! Also, after homecoming, I attended a party and removed my dress to fold it in the corner. Someone asked who the dress belonged to, and I told them it was mine. They said that it looked completely different off, and that I really did the dress justice!
I felt very pretty in the dress. It was very flattering without much skin. I curled my hair up to really make the dress the main attraction. I wore nude heels from Madden Girl and little jewelry. The dress really spoke for itself: gorgeous!

Great dress for a November evening wedding. Super comfortable. I ordered the small and medium but being 5'9" the length on the medium was preferred. The small was definitely too short, especially for dancing. So fun and all the compliments proved I made the right pick.

This was the perfect dress for a winter sorority semi-formal!

The open back gives this dress a really special element! I was comfortable all night long wearing this and dancing the night away. The sequins and design are very tastefully done, yet this dress is a showstopper on. Highly recommend this for a special occasion!

This dress fit me perfectly. I wore it for a bachelorette party in Las Vegas in January. I wanted something with long sleeves, but it was still short enough on me (I am fairly petite) to make me feel sexy. I also loved the back opening, I wore a "sticky" bra that had no straps and wore my hair up so you could see the back. It was comfortable and light. I would buy it if I could. The navy sequin really popped too-- added a little something extra other than plain black! I definitely recommend it!

I wore this dress for a wedding in late November. I wanted something that was season appropriate, flattering, and fun - this dress hit all the marks. I found that the dress ran large, the small was too lose around my mid section and sagged a lot in the back; the xs was much more flattering through the middle and back. I will say that the sleeve on the xs were very tight and slightly uncomfortable. Overall I really enjoyed this dress.

The dress fit great and I received a lot of compliments!

The dress material was more casual then I was expecting (it was stretchy and not stiff). At first I was worried it would look cheap but once on, it looked great. The color was really pretty (not navy but more vibrant). The fit is definitely "shift" which I was glad about since I have more belly then I would like.....The back of the dress was fun without being too over the top. I was unable to find a bra that worked so I just went without. It worked fine but I did not dance at all :)
